Title: Server activity over time

I decided to go with the low-pass (exponential decay) filter of y[n] = 0.25x[n] + 0.75*y[n-1].  To make it time-symmetrical I ran it both forward and backward, averaging the two.

I've been posting to that same old server activity thread for ages.  In honor of moving the image to Flickr, let me start a new thread.

The last week of August and first week of September were record highs for HvB games, easily surpassing our peak from the spring of 2006.  What's more, y'all did it with no help from me.  Three cheers for the continued spread of Arimaa worldwide!

I have updated the activity graph with the latest 6 months.  The number of games against bots has been up and down, but I am thrilled to note that the number of human vs. human games reached an all-time high during the event season, and doesn't show any sign of slacking off.  I dream of the day when the human community is so large, and it is so easy to find a human opponent, and we are so bored with the bots, there will be more HvH games than HvB games.  But maybe that is a pipe dream as there seems to be a nearly-constant 10:1 ratio between the two.

Thanks Karl, however I see only the old graph (till nov 07).

Actually, that is the new graph through March 15.  The bottom axis is only marked every six months, so it won't get a new label until May '08.
